I have a collection of screenshots that I mostly use for making Icons and such but they can also be used as reference material. I will take requests for particular episodes, costume pieces,or props. I can be contacted through Flickr mail.

I know the book has been mentioned before, but the entire Doctor Who Technical Manual is scanned and online at this site. My dad sent me the link today. It even has the exact measurements of the outside of the TARDIS ^_^

I went to the craft store and saw that Shrinky Dinks were on sale; and so I had to get them because I've never made one before.

Anyways, my questions are:

1) Does anyone have tips for working with them?

2) Has anyone found cartoon-ey images of The Doctor and company (Nine and Ten)? I'm horrible at drawing, so I was thinking I'd trace a cool-looking image and make zipper pulls.

Thanks in advance!

Later!

I have a question and an idea.

Question:

I'm looking for a Torchwood 'T' Stencil. I've tried to make one, but I haven't figured out a pattern that won't disintegrate on me when I try to make a small 'T'. I didn't find it on the community links and someone else had posted, but they'd found it. Any help would be lovely.

Idea:
I was on a trip and I went to a library in California (Sunnyvale). And I was geeking out and got Doctor Who: the Key to Time by Peter Haining. It had a lot of info on the first few Doctors and it had this great black and white picture of Jon Pertwee that could work as a two-tone stencil. I traced it, but also took a picture of it (in case someone here would be interested in it.) and I'll post it as soon as I download my pictures.

Thanks!

These are books from my Doctor Who collection that I have found to be very useful for crafts. They are out of print, but usually can be obtained quite cheaply.



The Doctor Who Pattern Book by Joy Gammon: A.H. Allen, 1984

The content vary from the oddly delightful to the just plain strange, but overall it really is a fun resource for any Who-crafter.

The patterns contained therein are:

Knitted Garments
Diamond Logo Jumper (that's sweater to Yanks)
Neon Logo Jumper
Starburst Jumper (a knitted version of Davison's starfield face from the credits)
Cricket Jumper (similar to what the Fifth doctor wears)
The Scarf (not too accurate)
Nyssa's Jacket (reimagined as a very bizarre jumper)
Romana's T-shirt (vaguely reminiscent of her sailor suit)

Sewn Garments
Adric's Tunic
Romana's Sailor Top
Tegan's Boob Tube (I kid you not)
Adric's Anorak

Knitted Objects and Toys
Knitted Plush K-9
Knit a Nasty (GI-Joe scale Axon, Aggedor, Zygon, or Yeti)
GI-Joe scale knit and sewn costumes for the first 6 doctors and the Master. Slightly scary.

Sewn Object and Toys
Celery Brooch (wierd, but oddly cute)
K-9 Shoulder Bag
TARDIS Sleeping Bag/Quilt
TARDIS Tidy (like one of those shoe-bags you hang on the door.)
TARDIS console floor cushion
TARDIS cushion (makes a cute TARDIS plush)
K-9 cushion
Sew a Nasty (Sea Devil or Mandrel)
Cybermats

Full patterns are provided for all items. Patterns can scaled up or down, and can also be adapted for other uses - for instance I've used the K9 sewing pattern to make a cardboard model.





The Doctor Who Technical Manual by Mark Harris: Random House, 1983

This book contains lots of crisp black-and-white line drawings that make it a good resource for reference images. They are probably not accurate enough for making exact replica props, but they are quite good enough and very useful for crafting.

The TARDIS
TARDIS tool box and tool kit
Sonic Screwdriver (old school version)
TARDIS console
Davros
Daleks (general diagrams, plus Types I, III, V, and Emperor Dalek)
K-9
Cybermen (Types I, II, and V)
Cybermats
The Robot (from Robot)
Servo Robot (from The Wheel in Space)
Quarks (from The Dominators)
White Robot (from The Mind Robber
Movellans and Movellan sidearms
Skonnos blaster (from Horns of Nimon)
Space Freighter (from ?)
Earth/Titan Shuttle (from The Invisible Enemy?)
Jagaroth Spaceship (from City of Death)
The WHOmobile
Plus patterns to make your own cut-out-and-assemble model TARDIS


Bookfinder is a good place to look if you want to purchase a copy of one of these books.
